VirtualHere Overview

VirtualHere is perfect for OEM integration because:

Bring your own device - turn any linux based device into a USB Server! E.g raspberry pi0/1/2/3, desktop, router, switch, android phone, blade server or your custom pcb! You choose the most cost effective and suitable hardware for your use.
The server is entirely userspace - this is much more stable and easy to update than kernel based solutions. Running in userspace means that any server problems do not crash the entire server device.
The server is entirely self-contained, and will run on any version of the Linux Kernel (including Android), and on any architecture! This makes OEM deployment trival, nothing else is required on the server device besides the basic linux kernel.
All settings are stored in a simple text file auto-generated with sensible defaults - no complicated registry settings
Very competitive per unit cost (no monthly fees or update fees!)
Active product development and frequent fixes/improvements/updates
Server can share up to 122 devices up to 5 hubs deep
Allows fine-grained authentication using simple bash scripting. Easily create or connect to your existing authentication backend
Supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for better protection from eavesdroppers when sharing over the Internet
Easily work around device quirks though simple scripting
Uses the open Bonjour protocol to broadcast its services on the network, this allows clients to auto-find servers
All USB communications take place on a single TCP port (7575) making it very easy to setup firewall and remote access
IPV6 support
The client can run as a service and is controllable via an easy to use API that anyone can use
The client is a single executable file with no dependencies and can be run immediately with no pre installation required
Runs on Android without root!
Can be custom compiled for your specific CPU architecture
